17 1Ntonto a wɔbɔe maa Manase abusuakuw a ɔyɛ Yosef abakan no ni: Makir a ɔyɛ Manase abakan na ɔsan yɛ Gilead agya no nyaa Gilead ne Basan, efisɛ na ɔyɛ ɔkofo. 2Manase mmabarima a wɔaka no nso nyaa asase sɛnea wɔn mmusua te: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Sekem, Hefer, Semida. Eyinom ne Yosef ba Manase mmabarima asefo, sɛnea wɔn mmusua te. 3Selofehad a ofi Manase ase, Makir, Gilead ne Hefer mu no anwo ɔbabarima biara; mmabea nko ara na ɔwoo wɔn: Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka ne Tirsa. 4Wɔbaa ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne Nun ba Yosua ne mpanyimfo no anim bɛkae se, “Yɛn Agya hyɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔmfa agyapade mma yɛn wɔ yɛn nuabarimanom mu.” Enti sɛnea yɛn Agya hyɛe no, Yosua de agyapade maa wɔn wɔ wɔn agya nuabarimanom mu. 5Kyɛfa du na ɛtɔɔ Manase, a Gilead ne Basan asase a ɛwɔ Yordan agya no nka ho, 6efisɛ Manase mmabea nyaa agyapade wɔ ne mmabarima mu. Gilead asase no yɛ Manase mmabarima a wɔaka no dea. 7Manase asase hyeɛ fi Aser kɔɔ Mikmetat a ɛwɔ Sekem apuei fam; afei ɛfaa anafo fam kɔɔ En-Tapua nnipa nkyɛn. 8Tapua asase yɛ Manase dea, nanso Tapua kurow a ɛwɔ Manase hyeɛ so no yɛ Efraim mma dea. 9Ɛhyeɛ no sianee kɔɔ Kana Subon mu. Nkurow a ɛwɔ subon no anafo fam a ɛwɔ Manase nkurow mu no yɛ Efraim dea; Manase hyeɛ faa subon no atifi fam, na ɛkɔwiee po no ho. 10Efraim asase daa anafo fam, na Manase dea daa atifi fam, na po no yɛ ne hyeɛ. Atifi fam no wɔduruu Aser, na apuei fam no wɔduruu Isakar. 11Wɔ Isakar ne Aser mu no, Manase nso nyaa Bet-Sean ne ne nkuraa, Ibleam ne ne nkuraa, ne wɔn a wɔte Dor ne ne nkuraa mu, En-Dor ne ne nkuraa mu, Taanak ne ne nkuraa mu, ne Megido ne ne nkuraa mu—mmepɔw abiɛsa no. 12Nanso Manase mma antumi amfa saa nkurow yi, na Kanaanfo no kɔɔ so tenaa asase no so. 13Bere a Israelfo no yɛɛ den no, wɔhyɛɛ Kanaanfo no ma wɔyɛɛ adwuma a wontua wɔn ka, nanso wɔampam wɔn koraa. 14Yosef mma bisaa Yosua se, “Adɛn nti na wode ntonto baako ne kyɛfa baako pɛ ama yɛn sɛ yɛn agyapade? Yɛyɛ nnipa bebree, efisɛ yɛn Agya ahyira yɛn de besi nnɛ.”
15Yosua buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ moyɛ bebree saa a, monforo nkɔ kwae no mu, na muntwa nnua ntew asase wɔ hɔ wɔ Perisifo ne Refaimfo asase so, efisɛ Efraim mmepɔw asase no sua dodo ma mo.”
16Yosef mma kae se, “Mmepɔw asase no nnso yɛn, na Kanaanfo a wɔte bon no mu nyinaa wɔ nnade nteaseɛnam—wɔn a wɔwɔ Bet-Sean ne ne nkuraa mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Yesreel Bon mu no.”
17Afei Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Yosef fi, Efraim ne Manase, se, “Moyɛ bebree, na mowɔ tumi kɛse. Morennya ntonto baako pɛ, 18efisɛ mmepɔw asase no nso bɛyɛ mo dea. Ɛyɛ kwae, nanso mobɛtwa atew, na nʼahye a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri no bɛyɛ mo dea. Mobɛpam Kanaanfo no, ɛwom sɛ wɔn nteaseɛnam yɛ nnade na wɔyɛ den de.”
